In one week

— a journalist has been shot with a rubber bullet while reporting in LA

— Trump has called for the arrest of governor Gavin Newsom

— US Senator Padilla has been handcuffed for asking a question of Kristi Noem

— Tanks are rolling in the streets of Washington DC

— And a murderer has attacked the homes of two Democratic politicians in Minnesota, killing two people and wounding several others.

I recall Trump claiming America under Biden was "going to hell"…

Where is it going now?

@randahl It's his twisted idea of "greatness", I guess...
@randahl Civil War? The then cold civil war is fast becoming a real civil war under Trump.
@rodrigo_silva @randahl I didn't want to be the first to say it, cause I don't live there and it's not my fight. From where I am sitting though it looks like the way is being paved for civil war.
@Frenezul0_o @rodrigo_silva @randahl Civil war happens when there's clear geographic separation of subpopulations. Right now, it's all mixed together, with the biggest pattern being urban vs rural. I think fascists vs rebels is a more likely outcome.
@hosford42 @Frenezul0_o @rodrigo_silva @randahl "Civil war, a war between organized groups within the same state or country". Sounds apt right now.
@randahl Oh, can't you tell, we're in Trump's version of heaven.
@randahl
... and why is it in a handbasket?

@randahl If this is it going to heaven, i'd rather take my luck with hell.
@randahl Ha, I saw a Trump supporter with a MAGA flag today at the #NoKings , and asked, "Is America great again yet? Is this great for America?" And he was actually flummoxed. Lol.
@randahl
A greater hell. It's going to be an amazing hell. Biggest hell ever. It will be amazing!

@randahl Now it's going to Heaven.

You have to keep in mind that "paradise" means completely different things to different people. While we saw a country that was growing and becoming more diverse, and that this was a GOOD thing--that we were learning from past mistakes and improving--they saw the continued death and destruction of the world they loved.

We are, "returning to glory," and a wondrous new world is about to come, whether you like it or not.

@randahl And one Democrat MN state rep has been murdered with her husband in her own home, another Democrat MN state rep and his wife were also shot in their own home both early this morning (by the same shooter? Not clear on that exactly as I’ve seen reports there may be two).

@randahl

Protestors in Washington really need signs like:
BURGER KING PARADE THIS WAY ➡️
FREE TACOS, YOU PAY!

@randahl

There’s also a lot of really good news coming out of the USA today, about lots of ordinary folk going out to express their disgust with the current regime.

@randahl #REFORUSA and the capture of Trump at the hands of #NATO forces allied in the goalcto liberate the #USA?

  • One can only dream...

@randahl

Democracies are very slow to react, and it will take time (and incredible suffering 😔 ) to correct course. So, it will get way worst before it gets better.

@randahl 4 years of brutal #dictstorship under #trump. 5 more years under another far more christian #dictator. And then 40 years of bloodsucking christian #autoriauthoritarian #oligarchy lead by a voted "First Oligarch".
Hope l am wrong and the demokratic people stand up in much more Masses, than the great ones yesterday.
